Although New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham insisted earlier this year that he'll retire whenever Drew Brees is done playing so that he doesn't ever have to play with another quarterback, he's been willing to bend the rules this week. Graham also has been reeling in passes from Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers and Carolina's Cam Newton during practices as he soaks up his first Pro Bowl experience in Hawaii.

"Hey, I'm still a young tight end, so I'm gonna catch balls from whoever's throwing them," Graham said via telephone. "But obviously, early in practice, Drew's only looking at me."

Graham, Brees and Saints offensive linemen Jermon Bushrod, Carl Nicks and Jahri Evans are all in Honolulu this week, preparing for Sunday's game between the NFC and AFC all-stars.
